If Trump loses ‘we’ll all be at the White House sitting on the front lawn. In arms’
Trump supporters are preparing to not take his loss very well.
“We’re going to win. And if we don’t win and Hillary wins, I think we’re going to take over the government,” said Nancy Fraize, 51, who works as a cleaning lady in Manchester, New Hampshire. “I think personally we’ll all be at the White House sitting on the front lawn. In arms.”

Many of those interviewed agree with the Republican nominee’s incendiary assertion that the election could be “rigged,” an unprecedented challenge to the nation’s democratic tradition…
“It’s about time we had someone with the balls to get things done,” said Lugene Martin, 51, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. “I’m so tired of this country being led by same-old, same-old politicians. We need one who won’t follow the rules.”
“If he lost?” she asked herself. “I don’t even know what I’d do.”
